Street Cries Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFGGCC| WHEN dawn's first cymbals beat upon the sky | A |
| Rousing the world to labour's various cry | A |
| To tend the flock to bind the mellowing grain | B |
| From ardent toil to forge a little gain | B |
| And fasting men go forth on hurrying feet | C |
| Buy bread buy bread rings down the eager street | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| When the earth falters and the waters swoon | D |
| With the implacable radiance of noon | D |
| And in dim shelters ko ls hush their notes | E |
| And the faint thirsting blood in languid throats | E |
| Craves liquid succour from the cruel heat | C |
| Buy fruit buy fruit steals down the panting street | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| When twilight twinkling o'er the gay bazaars | F |
| Unfurls a sudden canopy of stars | F |
| When lutes are strung and fragrant torches lit | G |
| On white roof terraces where lovers sit | G |
| Drinking together of life's poignant sweet | C |
| Buy flowers buy flowers floats down the singing street | C |
